Can I use or combine mine and my wife's apples id's

She just got the iphone5 and we got iPad Mac book and my iPhone. What can we do?

You can share an Apple ID for purchasing (in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), but not for iCloud (unless you want to share each other's contacts and calendars), iMessage or FaceTime.  If you share the same iCloud account with the same ID, any data that you sync with your iCloud account such as contacts and calendars will be merged and you will get each other's data on your phones.  If you use the same ID for iMessage you'll get each other's text messages.  If you do so for FaceTime you may get each other's FaceTime calls.

  • Can I Use my Ipod Mini and Nano 2gen on same computer?

    I have an Ipod mini and have just purchased an Ipod Nano 2gen. Can I just install the Nano without changing anything that is on my computer for my Mini?
    Thanks for any help.
      Windows XP  

    You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

  • Can we use a combination of structural and role authorisations in BW?

    Can we use a combination of structural and role authorisations in BW for the same object (eg cost centre CC) in the same report?
    If so how does it work? Read the structurals from the DSO and if missing then look for role auth?

    When you say two different reports do you mean two different data grids in the same report or two different reports each saved with a different name?
    Two data grids in same report connected to same data source will reflect changes in point of view as you are indicating.
    If you have two physically different reports then they will not be connected the way you want.
    If they are two separate reports what you can do is set up drill links from one report to the other that will let you open the second report from the first report and pass your filter selections to the second report being opened.

  • Can I use a combined WiFi and Bluetooth PCI card in my 2GHZ Mac Pro?

    Can I use a combined WiFi and Bluetooth PCI card in my 2GHZ Mac Pro?
    I'd like to buy this one:

    Many thanks in advance for your help,

    It probably won't work. Some USB PCI cards will work out of the box with OS X even though the manufacturers don't specifically support it. This ad does not list the card manufacturer or chipset so it's very difficult to tell much about it. Furthermore it states that to modify the settings it requires a Windows-based Utility. Unless the seller has a good return policy I wouldn't buy it.

  • Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

    Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

    Not staff or owner by a long shot.
    I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
    But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
    the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
    Bad cable
    bad outlet
    bad brick
    rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

  • I just setup mine and my wife's iphone 4 on new ios5 and icloud settings.  Our phones are both on my account.  Her phone is receiving my contacts, calendars, etc. due to this.  Is there a way I can separate her phone from my account in itunes and icloud?

    I just set up mine and my wife's iphone 4 on new ios5 and icloud settings.  I have both phones on one account and actually she purchases apps/music with my sign in and password on her phone. 
    Now that we are set up on icloud settings, her phone is receiving my calendars, contacts, etc.  she does not want and does not need any of these items on her phone.  How can I separate the two now?  is there a way to have a different login and password for her phone so that it sets up on its own icloud settings?
    Thanks

    She should create her own Apple ID and start using it for everything, including purchasing.
    It starts on the computer in iTunes. There are 2 elements we are dealing with;
    purchasing items from iTunes (apps, music) and playing items in iTunes.
    Only one Apple ID can be signed in at a time for purchasing. But you can "authorize" multiple Apple IDs for playing. As long as iTunes is "authorized" with both your Apple IDs, items purchased with these different accounts can coexhist in one iTunes Library.
    Why this is important, it has to do with back up and being able to transfer purchased items to the computer.
    Once your wife sets up her own account, she will want to connect the iPhone to the computer to back it up and transfer any new purchases, iTunes will need to be authorized for that to happen.     
    With that said, a new feature of iColud is back up. It will back up everything to the cloud. You need to turn it on, it's at the bottom of the iCloud settings on the iPhone. It is limited to 5GB for free, you can buy more. I used all 5GB my first back up, but I have a lot of crap, and there's a lot of things on the iPhone that get backed up that don't count against the 5GB, so it might be plenty of space for you.
    When it comes to the iCloud and contacts/calendars, again your wife needs her own account. (ASAP)  Does she have a computer in her life that has a list of her contacts and calendars. I hope so, because it sounds like her contacts on her iPhone are now mixed with yours. Or I hope there is still an untouched list of contacts on the iPhone that iCloud didn't mix.  Either way Delete your iCloud account from her iPhone. Remove the data, as long as it isn't hers. This will delete all info being synced to the cloud. If she still has a list of her old contacts on the iPhone, great. If not, I hope she has them somewhere else, like her own computer.
    Create her an iCloud account. Enter the account info where ever there is a list of contacts/calendars and get the info onto the cloud, then add the iCloud settings to any other devices. 
    Any new apps/music purchased with her account will back up to the cloud. I don't think apps purchased with your account will. She will also need to enter your password for updating these apps, because they were purchased with your account.
    I hope this helped and didn't make thing more confusing.  Good luck!

  • Have a new iMac.  can i use my old mini as an external cd/dvd drive?

    Just got my new imac and have discovered it is without a cd/dvd drive.  Since I have converted from a mac mini can I use the old mini as an external drive, and how do I do that if the response is yes?

    I use LaCie.
    My last cd/dvd burner was a LaCie, and it worked perfectly for three years before a bronze sculpture fell off a shelf and landed on it, putting a big dent right in the top of the metal case. I thought that would be the end, but it kept working perfectly, dent and all, for another two years before I finally replaced it.
    When my current drive needs to be replaced, that will be a LaCie, too. Same with their external hard drives. And no, I don't work for them.

    I am in the UK. Can I use the iPad Mini when on holiday in Sri Lanka?

    Sure.  Wifi is wifi the world over, so you can use any free wifi you can find at hotels, restaurants, and so forth.
    If you have a wifi+cellular iPad mini, you can use a SIM card from a local carrier if there is one there that offers iPad data plans.

  • I'm using an ipad mini and facebook won't update. What's wrong with it?

    I'm using an ipad mini and it won't update facebook. There's no other updates to do with it and I can download apps. I've had the ipad since about the end of august sometime.
    Thank you

    There are a number of other posts about not being able to download the update to the Facebook app, and I also can't download it (on my iPad nor my computer's iTunes) - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix

    Can I use my iPad Mini while plugged in thus keeping the battery at 100%?
    Or must I use it on battery all the time?

    Copied from Texas Mac Man ...
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    If you're asking whether more than one user can use the computer at the same time with multiple displays, the answer is no. Other users can log in over a network with Screen Sharing, but each one will need his own computer (not necessarily a Mac.)
